Suggested by Roland. Change tracehook_report_syscall_exit() to look at step flag and send the trap signal if needed. This change affects ia64, microblaze, parisc, powerpc, sh. They pass nonzero "step" argument to tracehook but since it was ignored the tracee reports via ptrace_notify(), this is not right and not consistent. - PTRACE_SETSIGINFO doesn't work - if the tracer resumes the tracee with signr != 0 the new signal is generated rather than delivering it - If PT_TRACESYSGOOD is set the tracee reports the wrong exit_code I don't have a powerpc machine, but I think this test-case should see the difference: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <assert.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int pid, status; if (!(pid = fork())) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) == 0); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); getppid(); return 0; } assert(pid == wait(&status)); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD) == 0); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(pid == wait(&status)); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(pid == wait(&status)); if (status == 0x57F) return 0; printf("kernel bug: status=%X shouldn't have 0x80\n", status); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/tracehook.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) --- TH/include/linux/tracehook.h~3_TRACEHOOK_HANDLE_STEPPING 2009-11-10 01:03:22.000000000 +0100 +++ TH/include/linux/tracehook.h 2009-11-10 22:00:37.000000000 +0100 @@ -134,6 +134,13 @@ static inline __must_check int tracehook */ static inline void tracehook_report_syscall_exit(struct pt_regs *regs, int step) { + if (step) { + siginfo_t info; + user_single_step_siginfo(current, regs, &info); + force_sig_info(SIGTRAP, &info, current); + return; + } + ptrace_report_syscall(regs); } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
